Laverne & Shirley - The Second Season DVD Review - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

We're gonna do it! Laverne & Shirley, the hilarious female duo, returns to DVD with the Second Season. Reminisce with the tough-talking, street-smart Laverne De Fazio (Penny Marshall), the bright-eyed, naive Shirley Feeney (Cindy Williams), and their eccentric but loveable neighbors, Lenny (Michael McKean) & Squiggy (David L. Lander). Relive each laugh-filled moment from the second season of this wildly popular, best-loved sitcom that includes all 23 second-season episodes in a 4-disc set. Give them a chance to "schlemiel-schlimazel" their way into your hearts again.

Thanks for the great and very thorough review!

Although the music substitutions isn't a huge deal to me, I'm upset about the packaging. They should have kept the packaging the same to be uniform with Season 1 on the shelf. But the fact that the discs can scratch easily makes me nervous about buying this set. So I will be choosing mine very carefully. If any of the discs are scratched, the set is going back.

I hope they go back to the original packaging for the rest of the series if they choose to release them.

Thanks again for reviewing the set for us and giving us all the details!!!

Playing Hookey: not included-the very first part of that ep. when Shirley sang Zip a Dee Doo Dah

Stepping Out: not included-when Shirley sang in the shower (not April Love but the one before that right before she sneezed).

The nerve of those bums. LOL! But must have something to do with those music issues.

Here are a few more edits:

1. Carmine's performance at the Pizza Bowl at the beginning of "Bridal Shower" as been CUT OUT.

2. Carmine's performance of "Tutti Frutti" at the dance in "Excuse Me, May I Cut In?" as been CUT OUT.

3. A song Mrs. Babish sings in the Christmas show at the mental hospital in "Oh Hear the Angels' Voices" has been CUT OUT.

4. A song Carmine sings in the tag of "Frank's Fling" has been CUT OUT.

I was watching METV and they aired the episode Bridal Shower, and it included Carmine's performace.

Never thought I see the day when a scene is included in syndication and cut out on DVD
